Thanks OP - your post reminded me that I wanted to do this. I booked just now for the July introductory session. Might be a slippery slope. Anyone else going? @KevinL21 have you been posting recently on Facebook about Racer5?

It’s all M8. Going to go to Home Depot or Canadian Tire and look for Nylocks. Interestingly when I was at Brafasco they had a bunch of different sized quantities of LocTite, but only blue and red. I thought I had heard there was a purple that was intermediate but they didn’t have any there

Thanks @Mad Mike. It's vibey. As I think about it, I'm not sure I understand the mechanics here. This is what my mirror stem looks like. As I mentioned, It doesn't have the typical double nuts that lock against each other. There's a metal collar that the main stem threads through, with a...

Interest I've got to give this a shot. I've been poring through dozens of threads for three weeks and I didn't see anyone suggest this until you and someone else last night. Mine doesn't have the typical two nut setup, just a long collar that the mirror threads through, and a jam nut at the...

This is on my bucket list to do - ever year I plan to. I have to get off my butt and sign up. Seems like the program's gotten a lot more expensive though.

That's very kind of you - where are you at? Interestingly, I was driving by a Brafasco/Whitecap and went in. The guy at the counter said they DO sell to regular joes like me.- no business needed. I had called another Brafasco the day before and they said I needed a business for them to sell...

Thanks! ChatGPT struck out on that one - said something like "Surprisingly, these washers are very hard to find in Canada in small quantities", , but it also says Bolts Plus sells to retail. I'll give em a call tomorrow.

I've got this mirror that keeps coming loose from its perch pretty much every day. I've tried blue threadlocker, split lock washers and both together - no joy. I wanted to try some Nord-lock washers, but I can't find anywhere to buy them. Amazon only has them in larger quantities; Brafasco...

I didn't catch the part where the OP works in a motorcycle store. They'd probably have change rooms. I'm thinking of work places where the bathrooms are so filthy you wouldn't want to take off your shoes.

Some work places are easier to change clothes in than others. I'm fortunate that I have my own office, and the men's room has a shower, lockers and a bench we could sit down in while removing pants. There are other workplaces I could imagine changing in would be much more difficult.

I have a StopNGo compressor which I run off SAE pigtails. I'm not sure I would trust it in an emergency - one died on me just routinely topping up. The build quality is pretty poor. If I thought I was going to be using it regularly - say dropping and raising tire pressure on a trip - I'd...

When I ride into work I wear Klim Outrider pants. They look somewhere between Carhartt-styled pants and chinos, even more so if you remove the knee pads when you get to work. That's easy to do while wearing them. Mine are a few years old and came with AA abrasion resistance, but according...

Are you using the SC2? I find the volume to be sorely lacking. At speed - say, above 80 km/h - I could not hear a thing on my Multistrada. I can barely hear traces of music on my Vespa. With my RF1400 and one of the lower end Cardos I was able to actually take calls. I'm wearing the same...

I've got a few Nocos and they always seem to have juice no matter how long they sit in my trunk. Now there are booster packs that also have a compressor.

Nah, I didn’t forget them. LOL

I don't think I could listen to that much music by The Who in one sitting. The only song of theirs that I actually like is "Eminence Front". EDIT: Forgot about "Love, Reign O'er Me".

Let me know if you end up getting one. I regularly get offered no-name batteries for power tools for review and might have some laying around. I think I may have some Dewalt 20V, for instance.

I was in the (used) market for a gas powered chipper. We have 3 acres, lots of trees, and lots of wood debris. The advice I got from the people I knew who did this sort of work was to rent a commercial unit - basically to go big or go home. I was looking at 3" gas-powered units. My BIL had...

Never seen the movie - is that from Quadrophenia? I am seriously entertaining the possibility that it might be my ride. The look of disdain on some of the Harley Boyz I see in cottage country is palpable. Especially when I pass them. LOL. This Vespa might earn some respect:

These guys were definitely turning inside the proper turning lane, and nobody has ever done that to me, but I'll take that advice to heart. I recall Young Drivers back in the day our instructor told us that you have your wheels turned left if you're in a left-turn lane with a cutout, wheels...
